Overview
- The cabinet is set to designate disaster areas today and activate a cross‑ministerial climate commission led by Sara Aagesen, with ministers beginning parliamentary briefings on the response.
- Galicia reports stabilization of its largest blazes—Larouco at about 30,000 hectares and Chandrexa–Vilariño at roughly 19,000—while Carballeda de Valdeorras remains active near 4,700–5,000 hectares and a new fire in A Pobra do Brollón (Lugo) has prompted risk measures.
- In Castilla y León, reactivations and strong winds forced fresh evacuations in Sanabria and kept several level‑2 incidents active in León and Zamora, including the long‑running Fasgar and Porto fires.
- Asturias has proposed a Northwest coordination forum with Galicia, Cantabria and Castilla y León, and Galicia’s president vowed stricter land‑clearing enforcement and a plan to curb post‑fire runoff and water contamination, with continued UME support requested.
- Authorities report 133 people investigated and 45 detained over fire ignitions since June, including a 75‑year‑old arrested in Molinaseca for a cooking fire, while one injured brigadista has been discharged and three others remain hospitalized.
